Mrs Shepherd's Grand New Zonale Geraniums, 

 "Good Venture Strain." 



It is with great pride that I offer this grand strain of Geranium's 

 seed, saved from my new seedlings. The flowers are very large and 

 round, of the most perfect forms with splendid trusses, some of them 

 forming balls 16 inches in diameter. The colors are all shades of scarlet 

 and crimson, rose pink, salmon, cream veined pink, blush, and pure 

 snowy white; many beautiful varieties of the Sou de Miranda type, 

 greatly enlarged and improved, all the new auriole types with lovely 

 rings and large white eyes. These all stand the hot sun and are sure to 

 bring many beautiful new and hardy varieties. A finer collection has 

 never been offered. 50c per 100 seeds, $4 per 1000; 10,000 or more $3 per 

 1000 seeds. 



New Black Foliage Heliotrope. 



Two new Heliotropes: "Egypt" and "Midnight," a dusky pair, most 

 appropriately named; the stems are black as ink, the foliage a beautiful 

 bronzy green, so dark as to be almost black. "Midnight'' has a fine tree- 

 like habit that is very distinct, while "Egypt" is round and bushy with 

 lustrous foliage, resembling thick crepe; the flowers of both are beautiful 

 shades of bluish purple, variegated with white and lighter purple; both 

 are extremely handsome, and the seeds can be depended upon to bring- 

 fine dark leaved varieties. Mixed. 50c. per pkt., $5 per oz. 



Petunias, Giants of California. 



These wonderful petunias are famous for their great size, and beauti- 

 ful combinations of color. The giants are very splendid and robust. The 

 fringed grandillora are equally beautiful but different. They have dainty 

 fringed edges; they are ruffled ^nd frilled and are exquisitely refined and 

 lovely. I give my personal attention to the growing of these grand flow- 

 ers andean assure my customers that they will be pleased with the seed 

 offered.
